The La Crosse nuclear power plant ( English La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor , LACBWR ) is a decommissioned American boiling water reactor in Genoa , Vernon County . It got its name from the city of La Crosse in the US state of Wisconsin, 27 kilometers south of the reactor .
history
The nuclear power plant was built in 1967 as the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor demonstration power plant . The project was partly financed by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and the Dairyland Power Cooperative (PDC). In 1973 the power plant became fully owned by Dairyland.
In April 1987 the LACBWR, which had become uneconomical due to the small size of the plant, was shut down. The transfer to safe enclosure , referred to as Safe Storage , or SAFSTOR for short , took place on August 7, 1991.
The plant is currently being partially dismantled. It is planned to store the spent fuel elements on site until a repository is available. The approximately 310-ton reactor pressure vessel was dismantled in May 2007 and taken to Chem-Nuclear in Barnwell , South Carolina for disposal .
